Sedrick Ellis - DL - Free Agent
Free agent DT Sedrick Ellis will visit the Bears and Lions this week.
Ellis worked out for the Patriots on Friday, but left without a deal. The seventh overall pick in the 2008 draft, Ellis will be rotational depth wherever he lands.

C'mon guys I'm hungover on my 21st and even I am getting this news out first. You guys are slacking.

And there's extra emphasis on the "I", I just couldn't really show it since it's already capitalized._________________👮

I was a big fan of Ellis coming out and think he'd be a solid depth guy for sure. He disappointed in NO but he wouldn't have top 10 pick expectations here to which he has to live up._________________

As much as he disappointed for a top 10 pick I never felt he was used the right way in NOÖhe was mostly asked to take up blockers for blitzing LBs and that was never his game coming out of USCÖhe was a penetrating UT and our scheme would be prefect for him to come in and play a key role in the rotation...he would be a very solid depth pick up.

Sedrick was a monster at USC, but he hasn't lived up to being a top 10 pick. I also dont think he was used properly in NO. A change of scenery and a better scheme would help him out significantly._________________

I remember him being billed as a solid UT, I think he would fit in nicely here if he's healthy (and not too expensive).

Hell, if he has a career year it might make Hank Melton expendable _________________"I think people would be surprised, because unless you actually have been in a room with Jay,

I always saw him as a similar player to Tank Johnson. More of a 1 gap 4-3 NT. Never gonna be a big time pass rusher but a good athlete for the position and can still take on double teams. Athletically he's a good fit.

Why is it people are looking to get rid of the best pass rushing DT in the conference?

G08's comment was heavily laden with sarcasm. None of us want to lose Henry Melton, but I would be happy to add some depth behind him. We learned with Cutler, Urlacher, etc that having no depth behind an important starter is a terrible gamble.

I'm not comfortable having Nate Collins, Irvin, or a handful of undrafted FAs lining up behind him. If he goes down, without signing anyone else we would have to move Wooten to the 3-technique and have Shea start opposite to Peppers, and all semblance of a rotation goes out the door. Izzy might still be available, but a few injuries happen and I think he gets a call quick._________________2013 Kyle Long Rookie of the Year Award

I don't see a scenario where we ever shift Wootton inside for anything other than a 3rd down passing situation or to finish out a game in which the other DTs get hurt. If Melton went down we would certainly bring someone in._________________

It was definitely tongue-in-cheek but nonetheless it's always good to have a backup as insurance in case Melton wants to break the bank._________________"I think people would be surprised, because unless you actually have been in a room with Jay,

That's exactly why I said "without signing anyone else." I wouldn't want him there either, I just didn't want to make guesses on who would and would not be available other that Izzy. Just the lazy way of doing it. lol_________________2013 Kyle Long Rookie of the Year Award
